We can see that

$Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC$

The given points are on same line.

Further explanation:

There are two methods to find if the given points are on same line

The slope method: If the points are on same line the slopes of two pairs of points will be same
Area of triangle method

Given points are:

A(1,3) B(4,2) C(-2,4)

We will find the slope of AB, BC, and AC

So,

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

$Slope\ of\ AB=\frac{2-3}{4-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ of\ BC=\frac{4-2}{-2-4}\\ =\frac{2}{-6}\\=-\frac{1}{3}$

$Slope\ of\ AC= \frac{4-3}{-2-1} \\=-\frac{1}{3}$

We can see that

$Slope\ of\ AB=Slope\ of\ BC=Slope\ of\ AC$

The given points are on same line.

Which expression gives the distance between the points (5, 1) and (9,-6)?

8_murik_8 [283]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

C. √((5-9)² +(1+6)²)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula can be written ...

d = √((x1 -x2)² +(y1 -y2)²)

Filling in the given point coordinates, this becomes ...

d = √((5 -9)² +(1 -(-6))²)

Simplifying the signs, this becomes ...

d = √((5 -9)² +(1 +6)²) . . . . . matches choice C

In this parallelogram. the measure of

balu736 [363]

Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180°). If one angle is right, then all angles are right. The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. Each diagonal of a parallelogram separates it into two congruent triangles. A square has got 4 sides of equal length and 4 right angles (right angle = 90 degrees). Since ALL the angles in aquadrilateral add up to 360 then 360 divided by 4 must be 90.

I just need 30 please

PIT_PIT [208]

In the smaller triangle, let $y$ be the length of the smallest leg. Then the smallest leg in the larger triangle is $14-y$ .

Within the scope of the smaller triangle, we have $y$ such that

$x^2+y^2=13^2\implies y=\sqrt{13^2-x^2}$

Then within the larger the triangle, we would have

$x^2+(14-y)^2=15^2\iff x^2+\left(14-\sqrt{13^2-x^2}\right)^2=15^2$

Now we can solve for $x$ :

$x^2+14^2-28\sqrt{13^2-x^2}+(13^2-x^2)=15^2$

$\implies x=12$

You and your friend were taking turns rolling a die when you thought of a game: If a one is rolled by either player, you pay you

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

6 times

Step-by-step explanation:

1. There was no cents left

2. If you roll one and get 50 cents you have to minus it with rolling other number than 'one' 5 times because you'll get 10 minus if you roll another number (50 divided by 10 is 5)

3. If you divid 30 (The rolls) by 5 (amount of roll you have to roll if you get one)

4. It equals 6 and 6 is a even number

5. Sorry this was too confusing
